Society Activities
- The Society holds monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM. Meetings usually are held at the Alden Balch Memorial Library on Main Street. The Society frequently hosts guest speakers or special programs of local history. Advance notice of these programs is made in the local papers and here.
- The Society has partnered with the Lunenburg Congregational Church Restoration and Preservation Society in an effort to restore two historic buildings on the common in the center of Lunenburg village - the old town hall and the Congregational Church.

- Each year the Society has available for purchase an historical calendar. It contains photos of times gone by; Lunenburg's people, buildings, community events, and everyday life. The calendar is sold at local sites in Lunenburg and is also available through the mail.
- Our genealogist is available to help families in locating their connection to Lunenburg. Our Society greatly appreciates artifacts and information that others are willing to share with us. Often the little piece of Lunenburg history you have is the missing piece we need.
- Our teaching staff offers educational sessions for children as well as adults. These sessions are conducted on an individual basis and subject to the availability of the staff.
